The fact that it's a very cheap show to make is why so many countries have adopted it.

And unlike dramas your budget does not just give you 2 million a night of the week, it gives you 2 million every night of the week. All for cheaper than what it would take to make something else.

At £60m per series, BB10 made in total £32m or something like that, making a huge loss.
